As one of the cover girls of their latest issue, Vanessa Hudgens attended Nylon Magazine’s 12th Anniversary Issue Party at Tru Hollywood last Thursday.

The Filipino-American singer/actress was joined by her other Sucker Punch female co-stars, including Jamie Chung, but it was Vanessa who stood out for us among them in a “we’re not quite sure if it’s good or bad yet” way.

Why? Well, it’s because of Vanessa’s footwear fashion foible (try saying that five times fast!).

The 22-year-old actress was lookin’ very much like her lovely boho-chic self in a slinky white Zac Posen dress topped off with a loose white cardigan, but her look suddenly became confusing when we got to her shoes.

Yep, those are glittery black nylon socks she’s wearing with her Pollini Spring 2011 t-strap sandals. Straight-up socks with sandals.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m really actually a fan of wearing socks with sandals, but for some reason, the style is not translating so well on Vanessa Hudgens here.

This would’ve worked better if Vanessa’s clothes had color or prints and not just a stark black-and-white contrast. Either way, the socks with sandals style can look great as part of street fashion, but I don’t think it’s ready yet for the red carpet.

What’s your opinion on Vanessa Hudgens’s socks with sandals? Do they look HOT or NOT?

I looked for a bigger picture of Vanessa Hudgens’s shoes, and not only did I find this close-up, but I think I also found a good reason why she’s wearing socks:

Maybe she wanted to cover up that painful-looking wound on her leg? Vanessa’s socks aren’t long enough, but maybe they just fell down as the night wore on.

I also just want to add that I’m guessing she got that wound from a motorcycle burn (I had one exactly like it and on the same part of the leg myself). I wonder if Vanessa has been riding motorcycles lately….? I can hear the rumor mills starting to turn.

Vanessa Hudgens’s shoes are these Pollini t-strap sandals:

Famed shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood, who had just been appointed as Creative Director for Pollini, enlisted the help of 5 other designers to create the Pollini Spring/Summer 2011 line.

This particular sandal is a collaboration between Pollini/Kirkwood and Preen. Like Preen’s aesthetics, this sandal is minimalistic, spliced with modern touches.
